STATUES

However if we are talking about states, and I am, I would suggest a statue of a similar design to the Iwo Jima photo, featuring NHS staff of all ‘ranks’/’levels’. Many of these people knowingly put their lives at risk to save others (and many paid with their lives. NHS workers are 4X more likely to contract Covid than the general population. These are the people who should be remembered with a large statue in say, Trafalgar Square. I am also influenced by the art work of the Soviet WWII era.

Please do not think I am decrying Sir Toms efforts and inspiration, just annoyed at the cacophony of politicians and journalists racing to get kudos by publishing a good news story. And I have some sympathy with this too, we have not really had any good news for months – even Man U are winning again! Well apart from Johnson and his lackeys disseminating bullshit optimism by the bucketful.
